Bibliography: p. 32.The object of this investigation was to find a satisfactory method
for the profitable disposal of the large amounts of finely divided
wood wastes available in the South and West.
As a result of this investigation, a process has been developed
for the briquetting of finely divided charcoal involving the following
steps:
1. The wood waste in the form of sawdust is dried ,and partly
carbonized under such conditions that the cohesive forces of the
charcoal becomes effective.
2. Pressure of several hundred pounds per square inch is applied
to the hot charcoal during the completion of the carbonization
process.
3. Finally the briquettes are further heat treated for smoke removal.
The resulting briquettes are firm and strong enough to stand
rough handling and they resist weathering to an extent which should
permit shipment and storage. They also are smokeless and of satisfactory
heating value.
4. Optimum conditions for the various steps in the process have
been determined on an experimental scale and a study made of costs
of plant and operation of a plant with a capacity of 2000 tons per
year.
The proposed process seems to be suitable for small scale installations
and apparently would permit the use of a plant of simple
design requiring the minimum amount of equipment and labor. Consequently
it seems adapted to the disposal of saw mill waste from
small mills. |
